Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB TradesC- FutureD
Williams is the Commanders' new face under center. Grade: C.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Commanders reached some 175 spots for Eyabi Okie-Anoma, and value like that does not grow back. It washes out to a C, no better and no worse.

Whatever Caleb Williams becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. The Jones pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In No. 1 they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chris Braswell. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick67 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
By-the-book stuff, Brenden Rice at slot 67 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick101 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
They took Khyree Jackson at par in Round 4, Pick 1, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick103 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in the 103rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick127 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams in the 127th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick138 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
They liked Theo Johnson enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 138. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick181 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
They paid a round early for Michael Barrett in No. 181, more than the board wanted. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick220 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones slid further than he should have, and the 220th overall pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick243 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
Value said wait; Eyabi Okie-Anoma in pick 243 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
